Lastly, amniotic fluid is a highly concentrated source of stem cells, which makes this type of stem cell injection preferable over embryonic stem cells and the patient’s own stem cells (from fat or bone marrow).

Are stem cell injections safe?

Yes. More than 10,000 injections have been performed without a single reported adverse side effect.

Amnioticstem cell therapy is a preferred type of stem cell therapy because the cells come from an immunoprivileged site, which means that patient-rejection is extremely rare.

The use of amniotic stem cells is well researched, safe, and effective. Amniotic stem cells have been used by ophthalmologists and plastic surgeons for about 20 years.

All amniotic stem cell donors go through a rigorous screening process, as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).

Am I a candidate for stem cell therapy?

Patients suffering form any kind of joint, tendon, or ligament pain may be considered as candidates for amniotic stem cell therapy at Hedley Orthopaedic Institute. Patients with severe degenerative osteoarthritis may not be eligible for stem cell therapy. Upon evaluation, your sports medicine physician may be able to provide you with recommendations for other types of advanced sports and orthopaedic care, including Knee injury, ACL tear, torn meniscus, Tennis Elbow and tendinosis.
